BE 1500 PSI Hand Carry (Electric - Cold Water) Pressure Washer

Originally I did not feel that this machine provided quite the advertised power. Since that time, however, I have added a 50' hose of a bit larger diameter which I removed from my now defunct gasoline washer.

Being in a jam i.e. a job to do and a broken gasoline washer, I took a chance with the hose and wand change and was pleasantly surprised. There appeared to be no drop in pressure and in fact perhaps a slight increase.

I did have a minor hiccup the second or third use after it had sat for a month or two. The pump valve body stuck but a quick tap with a plastic mallet returned it to operation. I now spray a bit of lubricant into it after each use.

I love the quietness. Pressure adjustment doesn't amount to much. Rare that you would want to go much less than 1500 PSI, then you would just use the garden hose.

The automatic shut off has given me trouble within the first two weeks. The pressure rod. gets stuck and leaves the pump in the off position. I freed it up but it got stuck again the next day. Hopefully it won't be a continuing problem. Customer service at BE was helpful.

If this problem subsides, I will be happy with the pressure washer

Bought this machine about 3 years ago and have only used it about 11 times. Very first time I used it it did not want to turn on. Power at outlet, on switch in on position, water on, pull trigger on spray nozzle, motor would not start. Tapped on pressure switch a few times and it finally started. Ran fine for about an hour, then would not start again, tapped on switch, still would not start, then tapped around switch and it started and I used it for another hour no problems.

Would pull out machine every once in a while to wash car, but same issue with intermittent starting. This year I went to use it to clean my pool deck, and the opposite happened, motor would not shut off and it would take a few seconds to build pressure after pulling trigger back on spray wand. Well that seemed to fix itself the next time I used it, but then it was back to the intermittent start. So I finally pulled off the start switch, and just use the on/off switch to start it. Pulled apart brass valve with the pin that activates switch but could not see any problem.

In hind-sight, I should have returned machine the first week it gave me problems but I had thrown the box away. I like the machine when it works (quiet, plenty of pressure) but since it rarely works right I can not recommend buying one.

Very good portable pressure washer. Worked better than I expected and very easy to use.

Arrived with a minor issue, the plastic collar on the pressure hose was broken, PED shipped out a new hose the next day. Very pleased with this product and PED.

When I first purchased this pressure washer about two years ago it arrived cracked and had to send it back in which PWD sent me another right away in which worked flawlessly for about two years before the pressure pin started to get stuck but I used this pressure washer alot.

It's very quiet and reliable. In fact I liked it so much that I bought another but it arrived drenched in oil and after only a few uses, the fuse block stopped working on a job site as soon as I arrived and tried to use it, I was so embarassed and ashamed since having technical difficulties is frowned upon, this is why I buy good equipment, to be reliable and get the job done.

So I called PWD to see what could be done since I needed a pressure washer immediately. I offered to remove the fuseblock and use it like that way since the last one did not have a fuseblock and worked flawlessly but was told it would void the warranty. I still haven't gotten a call back. I had explain the situation and had to leave the worksite, go to the nearest Big Box, spend another $250.00 on another pressure washer after just spending $380.00 on this one from PWD for the specific reason that I wanted a well made product I wouldn't have to struggle with on the job. I couldn't wait, shop around or even go home and get a back up, I had to get to the job and get it done, an hour later. Im not happy and am waiting to see what PWD does to make it right.

Auto start/stop failed after a couple of months. I do use it daily for mobile detailing and even though I have to go back and forth to tun on/off it is still better than using gas washer.

After a rocky start with poor packing and leaking oil, all is good.

PWD made things right and this was very much appreciated, thank you.

Nice pressure washer works great, very quite, good pressure for what I use it for. Over all seems like a good buy, if it last more the a year or two I will be very happy.

Mine came from a distributor in Florida, hope they get that guy straightened out, giving BE a black eye.

Thanks again PWD- a little good will go a long way.

Just received this pressure washer. Similar to last reviewer, this unit contains oil which was spilled everywhere on receipt. After cleaning the oil off, hooked it up, runs very quiet! Looks to be of good quality.

I bought this because I was getting sick of paying $200-$300 for a Karcher which seem to last less than one season. This unit is way quieter and more powerful than any Karcher I've owned before.

A bad experience turned good by PWD. I originally received a unit that would not build up pressure. That is why I rated the quality and value 3 stars. After PWD assisted with contacting the manufacturer I promptly received a unit that works flawlessly. They renewed my faith in Internet ordering.

The new washer is solid. It's quiet and works as a 1500 psi machine should. Time will tell if it is worth the price but I'm confident that this one is. I don't clean concrete with it but it works well on ATVs, vehicles, and other maintenance related activities and it is very easy to transport and set up.

I keep mine in an old steel Coleman cooler and it fits perfectly!

We use this in a screen print shop, & were tired of being nickel & dimed to death with the $160.00 to $200.00 units that had to be returned every few months for whatever, & any reason...

Thanks Joan, for all your help!

This is my first non-consumer pressure washer. I have grown tired of the yearly replacement of the Home Depot electric washer and the bi-monthly (!) replacement of the Karchers.

I was attracted to it because of the price but was hesitant to buy because of shipping issues people had reported in their reviews. My unit came quickly and was packed (although a bit messy with the shredded cardboard) well with no oil leakage issues.

The machine is quieter than I expected and seems to be of high quality. The pressure is good. I use it probably four times per week. Only time will tell if it holds up, but with the ability to change pump oil and replace parts, hopefully with good maintenance, it will last a long time.

I would certainly buy more if there aren't any problems within the first few months. If I had anything to complain about, it would be the shipping notification. PWDs order tracking continually listed my order as being processed with no other info. The morning this status changed to having a tracking number was the same day that it arrived. Not a big deal.

Very happy overall.
